' This morning's Daily Tar Heel announces the permanent
improvements section of President FrankvP. Graham's 194142
budget' for the University HeMs requesting around a million
an'a a'haif dollars,' which, if rjfranted'by the State legislature,
will Be spent for four new buildings, an addition to the library,
and-improvements arid equipment in numerous others.
i?request for new buildings is a manifestation of the belief
on the part' of the University" that the'iristitution is continuing
to grow; thatit must expand to" meet the "educational demands of
the slate "and nation if is supposed to serve. vV
To accept that which we have as complete, to say that the
University's physical plant is large 'enough'would be to say that
our" progress has come to an end, that we felt that the University
cannot improve on the service it is rendering its owners the
people. yj;. .1 r :-; w. .v.v
Such; is not the theory of the men who direct the University.
They recognize'" the need for constant growth, for pushing for
ward to" the destiny that is the University's.
The University has many needs. One can look around and in a
moment's time observe a need for new buildings, for improve
ments to old ones. With around one-third of the students living
in town some of them in sub-standard residencesnew dormi
tories are desirable. Graham Memorial is not yet complete ; the
music building needs more practice rooms; many academic de
partments should have more spacious quarters.
After careful consideration of University needs, the Univer
sity administration has decided to request appropriations for a
library wing addition, a commerce building, a languages build
ing, adaptation of the old power plant, alterations to the laundry,
departmental equipment, seats in Memorial hall, a dramatic arts
building, and a religious activities center.
The need for each is obvious. After attempting to study in
the semi-dark of the present library, one can' readily recognize
ihe need for expenditure of money in that quarter. Our only
request is that the wing, if obtained, have suitable lighting.
The congestion of the commerce and languages buildings makes
evident the need for two new buildings for these departments.
The crowded, out-of-date YMCA and Playmakers buildings like
wise need replacing.
And, most important of all, at least to 800 or so freshmen, new
seats should be. secured for Memorial hall.'
Thus reads the University's program of growth for the next
two years. It is an ambitious undertaking, in view of the num
ber of new buildings that have been erected here in recent years.
But every dollar requested is needed. Not one penny of the money
being requested would be wasted if allotted to the needs outlined
by President Graham. '
The part that students can play in seeing these additions ma
terialize is perhaps small. The 4,000 of us become puny when we
sound our v,oices to the legislators. Nevertheless, at every op
portunity students of the University should join in the campaign
for the University and for education. In these times of govern
ment support of the unemployed and of new emphasis on national
defense, education finds itself likely to be squeezed out of the
picture. For that reason it is all the more important that the
cause of education have a loud voice. - '

Dear;Sir:-r r:f a :
. Like- you, . I was impressed with
the? spirit- and the logic jof Ai J.
Mwste-1; heartily agreewith ,most
of Saturday's editorial X: . like r ite
spirit But I question its conclu
sion f -;I read, you aright you say
that Mr.. Muste's , program - is the
sane one, the Christian tone,, the
civilized one,, the -one that decency
and reason , prescribe and the - one
' that you personally would -like , to
follow.: Then you conclude that, be
cause we are at this stage still fairly
prosperous and think we are strong
enough to defend what; we have by
force and because we have not yet
remade human nature, the sane,
Christian, civilized), decent,-, rational
course must be : scrapped as "im
practical", and we must, act as if we
were insane, un-Christian, barbaric,
indecent and irrational. - Since ? all'
men are not already angels, we must
act as if we were all devils. Since
wisdom is impossible until human
nature is changed, we shall there
fore despair of the world. I suspect
that this thoroughly defeatist posi
tion is that of the great majority of
serious-minded, good citizens today.
It is against this defeatism that I
wish to protest.
I am well aware of the difficulties
. of the advocate of reason and sanity
in a world gone mad. Yet I wish to
call attention to several considera
tions that seem to me pertinent: (1)
The Gallup poll recently showed
86 of the people opposed to going
to war. Yet they are being led, some
of us think misled) into following
policies that will take them into
war. Is it impossible to suppose
that able and determined statesman
ship might pilot that same great
majority to the peace they do want,
if a leader arose as determined to
pursue the peace method as Mr.
Roosevelt has shown himself deter
mined to follow the war method?
(2) Frightened, we are allowing
our fears to formulate our foreign
policy. Counsels born of fear are
always dangerous. (3) Most causes
that have brought a better way of
life to mankind have at first been
opposed, denounced, or ridiculed as
impractical or worse, by most of
those who have later benefitted
through them and come to praise
them. (4) Most great ideals ulti
mately accepted by mankind have
been carried to success by a small
but devoted group of men with
faith enough -in them to try them...
The majority of men are rarely
spiritually regenerated, but they
frequently are led by the good that
is in each of then) to follow the
light provided, by spiritually great
leaders. (5) Ever since America re-

' - Mr. Muste would be the last to in
sist that his particular program has
magic in it -But we have - missed
the essence of the common sense
that so impressed us in him if we
cast his thesis aside as impractical
because it is difficult and requires
courage to carry it out It is time
that somebody told us what ; is
"practical" or. useful in going fatal
istically to destruction because no
one has the vision or courage to
turn about and go somewhere else.
Why must we allow Hitler to force
us all to mold our lives to his model
and to accept his theory that brute
force alone has power or virtue?
We need to be reminded that it is
more noble to live courageously for
ideals than to die for them.
The people of the western world
'are stupefied by the cruelty and in
humanity of modern war. They
made material prosperity their god
during those wondrous twenties and
found it had feet of clay. They cast
ade their old religion because it
was not scientific or intelligent Now
they have discovered that science
and intelligence without moral pur
pose to give them direction are as
i likely to .destroy mankind as to
- create a Utopia. The older genera
tion in other countries as. well as
Germany killed off some of the best
of its youth under the theory that
it was useful to die for one's coun
try and it now needs these fine
spirits to help run the world. The
present younger generation has
taken more seriously than their dis
illusioned elders certain dreams and
hopes of a better world. These
youngsters are now bewildered at
the spectacle of elders panic-stricken
into abandoning all they have in
calmer times taught. The result is
this defeatism and fatalism that
prevent men who see sanely from
carrying their, sanity into action. It
is in just this kind of world that
spiriutal leadership, if we had it
could thrive. Human nature has al
ready somewhat 'changed: it no
longer glorifies -war per se. Human
beings are not wholly selfish and
bad as your editorial implied. Most
of us have some good and some bad
in us. What the world needs is

The cry that the new mag jjj

or will degenerate to what that
magazine used to be has been made
heeded. Let it stand as a warning,
for it is all too true.
Problem is that a new mag needs
new ideas. So .far any ideas have
been weeds struggling in the dark
ravines of someone's subconscious.
Growing trend in magazines, and
an entirely unprecedented action in
college publications, is the use of
pictures. More - and better pictures
as a true reflection of campus and
the most accurate and interest
holding medium of reaching the
public would start the new mag on
a footing above any college pam
phlet in these states.
Objection pictures, especially
the engravings, cost a small for
tune. Editor-elect Witten asks,
"Brother Lear, can you spare a
dime."
But the distant rumblings of a
move for an engraving outfit are
nearing. Forecast is that we will
see such a setup on the Hill before
summer vacations. Plant would
